However, after analyzing the supply and demand relationship, it is found that the rebound lacks substantial support and there is insufficient basis for continued price increases. The market should remain rational and be wary of the risks of overheating expectations. Overall, the rebound at the end of February is more of an emotional and technical correction rather than an improvement in supply and demand, and the price increase lacks support. Under the pressure of oversupply, the upward space for iron ore prices has been sealed off, and the market should treat price fluctuations rationally"

# Iron ore does not have a basis for price increases; the market should have rational expectations

Recently, influenced by the outbreak of geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and the resumption of work after the domestic holiday, iron ore prices have rebounded rapidly, attracting market attention. However, a deep analysis of the current supply and demand relationship for iron ore shows that the rebound lacks substantial support and does not have a foundation for sustained price increases. All parties in the market should remain rational and be wary of the real risks behind overly optimistic expectations. Overall, the rebound in iron ore prices at the end of February is more a result of sentiment and technical correction rather than an improvement in the supply and demand fundamentals, and the increase lacks a supportive foundation. Under the ongoing pressure of excess supply, the upward space for iron ore prices has been firmly sealed. Market participants should look beyond short-term fluctuations, recognize the fundamental landscape, and treat price volatility rationally. (China Metallurgical News)
